MANCHESTER: Pakistan are ready to take on England in the first and last T20 match of the series Wednesday at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Manchester.
On paper, England are a stronger side of shorter format, but Pakistan have every trick up their sleeves to turn the table on hosts.
So far both teams have faced off twelve matches, out which England won 9, whereas Pakistan could only manage to win 3 games so far.
If we look at England’s lineup, they have all the stars in their side who led them to World Twenty20 final few months back.
They have batsman like Joe Root, Alex Hales, Morgan and Roy, and all-rounders like Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunket and Chris Jordan. They have depth in their bowling lineup and even more depth in their batting department.
It can be said that, they have a desired squad for modern day cricket for all three formats, but they are most destructive in shortest format of cricket.
England (probable) 1 Alex Hales, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 David Willey, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 Chris Jordan, 11 Liam Plunkett
On the other hand, Pakistan have limited choice for their only T20 game of the tour. Wit hut making much changes to their ODI side, they announced a 13-men squad for this game.
But, after looking at the squad one can easily figure out what playing eleven would play today.
Pakistan 1 Khalid Latif, 2 Sharjeel Khan, 3 Sarfraz Ahmed (capt), 4 Mohammad Rizwan, 5 Babar Azam, 6 Imad Wasim, 7 Shoaib Malik, 8 Mohammad Nawaz, 9 Mohammad Amir, 10 Hasan Ali, 11 Hasan Ali
